In women, with frequent consumption of beer, the voice becomes noticeably coarser, body weight increases, puffiness appears on the face, bags under the eyes, hairs (antennae) begin to grow above the upper lip. Infertility develops gradually, the character changes to irritable, angry.

These problems overtake almost all women and men who drink more than 1 liter of beer at a time at least a couple of times a week.
